***This review may contain spoilers*** This is usually not my type of film. I went to see it based purely on
the good things I have read about it. I have seen Mean Girls on TV, and
was pleasantly surprised by it. This is even better. Emma Stone is
superb, if there is no Oscar nomination for her, then there is no
justice. The dialogue is very funny, without relying on obvious a...

"Don McKay" is marketed as an edgy thriller, that's probably because
they had no idea how to categorize it.The movie begins as a cross between a romantic drama, a character
study, and a dark thriller. Don McKay, played brilliantly by Thomas
Haden Church, returns to his hometown by a letter from his high school
girlfriend, Sunny (Elisabeth Shue). That's the ...

Look, I don't know what people have against Eddie Murphy films (they
always seem to get a low rating on IMDb) but if you watch them for what
they are they are FUNNY.@jogliore from United States What's wrong with you? My wife and kids
watched this movie and loved it. I loved it. It's funny. It makes you
laugh. The acting is good enough for the type of movie. It's...

This review DOES contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen this movie
yet, and finding out about it beforehand will upset your enjoyment, go
see it and then come back. Or don't see it. A lot of people are unhappy
with this flick and I believe I understand why.One of the reasons this movie has been getting bad reviews is that it
is being advertised as a romantic comedy, and...

Smart People - Smart People had a 46% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it's far
better than that. Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennie Quaid) is a "holier than
thou" widowed professor you unfortunately meet once in awhile. He's the
sort who's deeply invested in his subject but can neither make it
accessible nor allow the students any time to discuss it. He's a
brilliant asshole e...

As I was walking down the stairs and out of the theater, I was trying
as hard as I could to pull a smile out of my face. My friends tensely
asked if I liked it, I said "Yes, of course!!" They nodded weakly in
response. On the way home, I kept thinking to myself. "You liked it!
C'mon! It's Spiderman!" Now, it's two days later, the euphoria of

Let me say up front, I had low expectations going into the film.
Although I like animation a lot, I wasn't too impressed with previous
Dreamworks attempts. I tend to regard cutesy previews with suspicion,
and was mostly just going along to have a potentially positive
movie-going experience with my family. Things got a little worse when
we arrived at the theatre, and both th...

Bring your Kleenex. Maybe it's just coz I'm female, or maybe it's coz
my mother read this book to me when I was little -- but every time a
new word appeared in that web -- tears rolled down my cheeks!It's very charming. They have kept to the time frame of the book -- it
looks like the 1930s-1950s. They haven't tried to "modernize" it with

Watching AMC's Western miniseries Broken Trail is similar to reading a
compelling novel - the beauty's in the details. Rather than rushing
story and character development in order to get to the next action
scene (so as to appease those with Attention Span Deficit Syndrome),
Broken Trail understands that the mark of a really good Western lies
with interesting, colorful c...

Sideways is a beautiful portrait of mid life disappointment. The
backdrop is lovely California wine country, and the casting is
flawless. Every single performance in this film is surprising, pitch
perfect, and unusual. The movie has the remarkable ability to capture
sadness and desperation in just the light that allows the audience to
recognize the humor. The ending is satisfyi...

I'm not one to go into a movie that's meant to be silly, expecting
shakespere. But like a lot of comedy sequels, the jokes were too set up
and
too planned instead of coming from the situatution. Angus T. Jones was
sweet
as Junior and didn't get enough screentime, Julie Benz is a wonderful
actress but suffers in this role, Chris Showerman would have made a fine
'new' Geo...

I had no preconceived idea about this movie. I watched this movie and I
was
engaged from start to finish. I appreciated the smart dialogue and the
fresh
spin director David Semel put on what would normally be tired old
stereotypes. I was so delighted with this film I logged on to IMDB to read
more about it. I was surprised by the few unfair and harsh user comments,

Scrolling through the 135+ comments, I'm amazed at how outraged so many
viewers are at the "excessive violence," "explicit sex," "foul language,"
etc., etc., etc. C'mon. A film is advertised as Elvises robbing a Las
Vegas casino during an Elvis convention. How much more lead in do you want?
You expect, action, thrills and ... content? Amazing. Listen. This is

Thumbs up to the director and the stars of George of the Jungle. They have
made one of the funniest children's films that you will ever see. You know
that they had a great time making it because it's clearly evident on the
screen.
George of the Jungle is simply just a Tarzan parody. (Ape-man meets girl,
falls for girl, leaves for city, returns to jungle). But the predictable

TOMBSTONE, one of two epic westerns about Wyatt Earp released within a few
months of each other (1993-94) lacks the lyrical, 'warts-and-all' quality
of
Kevin Costner's WYATT EARP, but is a more successful film, with tighter
pacing, more clearly drawn characters, and a reverence to the genre that
has
made it the most popular Western of the last twenty years.From the opening ...
